I remember when this game came out and I am still playing it. It might not look like it's worth checking out, since the graphics are very dated. But it's actually worth a look. It is much more than just a civilization-clone in a fantasy setting. The spells, skills, heroes and troops that become available over time are very different almost every time you play and can be real gamechangers. They are defined by mana allocated to research, the amount and mix of spellbooks available, race, fame, money, food supplies and, of course, chance. If you like high-fantasy, turn-based combat and an ever-growing arsenal of tricks you can have up your sleeve on the battlefield, this is your game. If it lacks anything, it is balance. There are some races that are rather easy to play and some that are very hard to play. Apart from that, it is a lot of fun once you understand the basic game mechanics. Moreover, it is especially worth checking out since the rather recent remake that goes by the name of "worlds of magic" doesn't manage to live up to this gem of an original. But be warned: Just like civilization, this game can be addictive!
